Hello. I'm new to this.
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer Friday just gone. I am absolutely terrified. Had mammogram 2 weeks ago then scan and biopsy told me Friday just gone that I have breast cancer and needed a CT scan which I had Sunday evening. Got an appointment on the 28th with consultant for a care plan.
Hi Good mum and welcome to the Online Community but I am sorry to hear about your diagnoses. Navigating the cancer journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from others who are dealing with the ‘exact same' cancer type can help a lot.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) but I do see that you have already found and joined our supportive Breast cancer support group. This is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
